Guests will enjoy over 15 interactive STEAM activity stations designed to spark curiosity and imagination, plus a host of festive extras. Dress in your favorite costume and explore activities like:
Magic Wand Station – Build a working wand with LED lights and conductive materials.
Witch’s Brew Reactions – Mix safe household ingredients to witness bubbling, fizzing fun.
Candy Corn Catapults – Launch candy corn while learning about force and motion.

Monster Mask Making – Design and decorate unique wearable art.
Dry Ice Ghosts – Discover the science of sublimation with spooky ghostly fog.
Banana Piano – Turn fruit into musical keys using circuits and conductivity.
Flying Ghosts with Air Toobz – Engineer air-powered launches for floating spirits.

Zap & Connect – Complete the circuit with your team and light up the fun!
Haunted Habitat Builders – Build spooky structures using cardboard and creativity.
